Killing 'em Softly is a 1982 Canadian thriller film directed by Max Fischer, starring Irene Cara, George Segal, Clark Johnson and Nicholas Campbell.[1] It is most noted for production problems which led to it becoming one of the first Canadian films ever to be released direct to video,[2] and led to a court case over production funding which was not resolved until 1995.[3]
Based on Laird Koenig's novel The Neighbor, the film's plot centres on the girlfriend of a murdered man, who falls in love with her boyfriend's killer.[1]
Irene Cara also performs the opening theme song "City Nights".
